Questions
HS code 810420: common questions
What is HS code 810420?
HS code 810420 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Magnesium and articles thereof, including waste and scrap : Waste and scrap". The first two digits (81) are the chapter — Other base metals; cermets; articles thereof — and digits 3-4 (8104) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 810420?
Common products classified under 810420 include magnesium scrap, magnesium waste, magnesium recycling and similar items matching waste and scrap. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 810420?
Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.
Is HS code 810420 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (810420) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.
Can I trust the HS code a 1688 supplier gives me?
Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
